This is an amazing dumpling (and other stuff!) place on Sawtelle - one of the best retaurants there. There is no sign on the door, but don't miss it.
FYI they don't serve alcohol but the crab fried rice, sauteed broc w/ mushrooms, and fried dumplings are to die for!

Amazing ramen!! You order off of an ipod stuck to the wall. Delicious + one of the only ramen places I've found with great vegetarian/non-pork options. It gets busy, but it's delish.

Super fun and weird and very crowded, but worth it for the experience. This is a revolving sushi bar that just went through a high-tech renovation. Sushi spins around the restaurant on a belt, and you can order special items off the screen at your table. Very quirky and fun. All dishes are $2.25!
